This jar is fahioned of a red clay fabric with small areas that have fired black. It has a bulbous globular body with a rounded base, short neck, and a straight, very slightly pressed out rim, some of which has chipped off. The upper body is decorated with incised double-line arcs oriented upwards from a similar double line that runs around approximately the midpoint of the body. A double-line zig-zag runs around the base of the neck.
